Be Ye Perfect

by 37 Comments

street-sign-141396_640“Be ye perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” — Matthew 5.48

This instructional scripture is referring to cleansing of generational and self-inflicted programming known as subconsciousness. The scripture is making the point : Be transformed within consciousness, through exposure to Pure Consciousness. It’s important to understand that we’re (finite mind) not perfecting anything, rather we’re surrendering lower-self ego, to that which is already perfect — Spirit : the Spirit perfects /heals when all mental struggle has ceased — it’s the inner struggle which is the problem, not the so-called problem. If the fish ceased struggling more then likely it would free itself from the hook.

With this and the following scriptures in mind, let us explore subconsciousness, its origins and a method of its elimination. [Read more…] about Be Ye Perfect

Is There Only One Holy Book?

by 26 Comments

One Holy BookWhen I was a newly saved Christian attending an evangelistic church, I was taught in Sunday school that there was only one holy book – the Bible.  If I had to burn all the books in the church library except one, I would be expected to choose the Bible.  I have gone through several spiritual transformations since then, so that expectation seems somewhat limiting to me now.  But back then, I had recently gone through a paradigm shift from agnostic to believer.  Something had been awakened.

Esoteric Muslims: The Sufi

by 11 Comments

esoteric sufiWhereas orthodox Islam focuses exclusively on “submission to Allah”, the esoteric sects of Sufi and Druze also focus on “union with Allah”. To the esoteric believers, the Islamic religious system of Quran, hadith, and all the prophets are but stepping stones to a higher spiritual awareness. This is reminiscent of the Christian belief that the law is a tutor that leads us to Christ (Galatians 3:24). In our modern age, spiritual union is starting to become more the rule than the exception.  Astrologers say they predicted this from the zodiac as the coming “Age of Aquarius”.  Others associate with the “Shift” in human consciousness which started accelerating at the end of the countdown of the Mayan calendar in 2012.

The Esoteric Meaning of the Tetragrammaton

by 41 Comments

Tetragrammaton_SefardiWestern religion has a terribly inaccurate and limited view of the body, soul, and spirit. Such a view has led to the church’s failure to properly portray and instruct how we advance in the kingdom of God. Jesus plainly stated God’s kingdom was within us (Luke: 17:21), and Paul teaches us that God dwells within us. We are His temple. Thus both God and His kingdom are found within us, and are both one harmonious relationship.

But what does this mean. It’s easy to quote scripture and say that God and His kingdom are in us, but how are we to really grasp this concept.

Breaking down the esoteric meaning of the Tetragrammaton can help. [Read more…] about The Esoteric Meaning of the Tetragrammaton

The Sun God, Jesus, and Our Hearts

by 11 Comments

Sun GodI am currently reading the New York Times Bestseller, The Secret History of the World, by Mark Booth. In the beginning of the book, he does a great job showing how ignorant our modern scholars can be when trying to explain what the ancients really believed spiritually. For example, in one passage he states that scholars like to believe the Egyptians actually worshipped the sun as a sentient being. This is silly. As Booth tells us Robert Temple’s commentary on texts by Aristotle, Strabo, and many other philosophers of the ancient world have clearly shown that they “…saw the sun as a sort of lens through which the spiritual influence of a god rayed from the spiritual into the earthly realms.” [Read more…] about The Sun God, Jesus, and Our Hearts

by 42 Comments

psychic mindIn Tradition of the Gnostic Apostle, gnosis was described as experiencing the Divine, awakening to the Christ within.

Who Are We and Why Are We Here? Meet Your Personality: Part III

by 38 Comments

In Part I and II of “Who Are We and Why Are We Here? Meet Your Personality” we examined secular and spiritual versions of personality profiling, including Myers Briggs, several versions of the Four Temperaments, Astrology, and the Chinese Zodiac. Some were inaccurate and others left little or no room for spiritual transformation. In the tradition of Jesus serving wine at the Wedding in Cana, we have saved the best for last [Read more…] about Who Are We and Why Are We Here? Meet Your Personality: Part III

Temperament Groups four elementsIn Part I of “Who Are We and Why Are We Here? Meet Your Personality” we examined a “secular” version of personality profiling – the Myers Briggs program.

We will be saving the best program for last, by presenting it in depth in a future post. It is the one most suited to esoteric spirituality and meditation –the Enneagram.

The Biblical Meaning of Man’s Dominion over the Animals

by 25 Comments

Biblical CreationPeople have long thought that the Bible’s creation story in Genesis is literal. Ancient Rabbis, learned scholars of the Hebrew language, have always taught us that those who fail to see beyond the literal stories miss out on the deeper spiritual meanings latent within the text. Those of us who are guilty of reading it with literal eyes only are missing a treasure-trove of knowledge put there to help man crawl from his low spiritual state.
